Place in a wide mouth quart jar and press down firmly until the juices come to the top of the cabbage. the top of the cabbage should be at least 1 inch below the top of the jar. Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before moving to cold storage. The sauerkraut may be eaten immediately but improves with age.

My German mother used to make the best sauerkraut in large crocks.I have a couple of the crocks, but the recipe isn't in her recipe box. This sounds very simple and good, an it includes caraway seeds, just like my mom's! Thanks!
